Excerpt from History and Reminiscences, From the Records of Old Settlers Union of Princeville and Vicinity, Vol. 4: Material Comprised in Reports of Committees on History and Reminiscences for Years 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929 This volume is the fourth of the series begun by the Old Settlers' Union in 1912. Like its forerunners, it is a compilation of historical sketches, poems, etc., prepared by different persons of the vicinity, and of interest to all those whose families are connected by residence or association with the early days of Princeville and surrounding Townships. A surprising amount of material on Princevilles early days was brought to light by interviews with forty or fifty of the older inhabitants, when Mr. Edward Auten, Sr., and Mr. Peter Auten first wrote the history of Princeville Township, several years before the formation of the O. S. U. P. V. It was planned to read several articles from the platform at the Picnic each year; failing in that, the articles and sketches, many of them developed into family hisories, have been collected and published in these four volumes. Special attention is called to the comic and richly humorous articles on Princeville life and character in 1877-1889 by Paul Hull. Following them are articles on general subjects, then family histories in alphabetical order, and then lists of burials in different cemeteries. There are still about fifteen cemeteries in the Townships covered by this Association, whose burials have not been reported in this or earlier volumes, the Streitmatter, Dunlap Catholic, Blue Ridge, French Grove, West Hallock, Princeville Apostolic Christian, Dickinson, Jubilee College, Rochester, Sheets and others. Their lists should appear in a later volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
